I may be wrong, but I think offers in baseball are different than in football. Can't players renege on verbals in football? They may be trying to start bidding wars. Baseball isn't as flashy as football anyway. Acting cocky in baseball only gets you beaned.

I believe offers in football are different. It's common for a football coach to make offers to many quarterbacks, for example, knowing that he will only take one of them. The catch is that numbers two through n on the list aren't allowed to accept the offer until number one is no longer available. So in my mind these aren't really offers at all. Maybe an expression of interest, or a spot on the board, but not the same as a baseball offer.
